  1. I’ve got the Oxford Peterborough game on. F me League One is shit. But that isn’t our problem.
  2. We’re a Championship side for next season and we have possibly the most capable manager we’ve had in decades. It’s a sign of intelligence to modify your opinion based on new evidence, so I trust the 1867 will say exactly the same that they always have.
  3. Add to that they’re run by Yanks that thought they were so knowledgeable that they fired a manager who looked to be setting them up for a playoff chase.
  4. Hull finish 3-3. They can still get to the playoffs and Norwich still not secure despite a +7 goal difference. They’re probably there, but not by enough to play the reserves. Good result for us.
  5. If we needed any reminder at all that we cannot rely on results elsewhere then Leeds getting hit for 4 is it.
  6. 101 is the target, beating Swindon’s PL record (though that was from 42 games).
  7. Indeed. I remember Peterborough’s pitch invasion after they beat us (around a decade ago). No one should celebrate until the job is done.
  8. Chelsea proving that they can manage just fine without Cole Palmer.
  9. We would still need a point, unless we happen to beat WBA 20-0.
  10. Leeds beating Middlesbrough 3-2 at HT, unless Boro win their season is done and only Coventry and Hull (who play in a couple of days) will be able to catch West Brom.
  11. During the first season of VAR, there was a lot of criticism for the way that lines were being drawn for offside decisions. The response to that criticism was to stop showing the process rather than to improve it. Their response to appearing incompetent is only to censor.
  12. No one seems to talk about the margin of error. You cannot have a margin of error of ~10cm then make decisions by the millimetre.
  13. 50 points might be enough for some, but not when you’re the side with the worst goal difference. We need at least a point against WBA or we’ll be guaranteed to be below the dotted line before the final fixtures kick off, but I think we might need all 3.
  14. Unless we see something different in the second half then I don’t think we win today.
  15. Would be even funnier if him getting a CL medal while a Man Utd player triggered a bonus payment in his transfer from Dortmund.
  16. I think limiting the number of challenges over the course of a season is the way to go with that, to stop it being used frivolously or for time wasting. If you were only permitted ten or so incorrect challenges then you’d have to be pretty certain that the decision was wrong. The real challenge is stopping teams just requesting more and more because it will make the game worse.
  17. That’s a lot better than what goes on at the moment. Even if it’s just the cameras (believe they are 240fps rather than the 60fps ones used in the PL), that cuts the margin of error in 4. But any decision taken out of the hands of VAR officials improves the game.
